Where I live we have pretty hard water. I haven’t actually tested the hardness but the ph is about 7.5 and I know everyone else in the area has hard water. A lot of people around me have Africans and don’t do anything to buffer their water to make it suitable for them. I know the water isn’t...

So to start, I have a planted 4ft (200 litre) tank. I did a big plant trim today. Tank is a little cloudy from stirring things up. Will water change tomorrow. The tank already has 2 male rams and 6 female bettas in it (there is also a male betta in a breeding trap because today his tank and all...

Did you ever work out what it was? By now it should be really obvious what the gender is

would be so so much easier to give you stocking suggestions if it was heated soft water. you rarely see small cold water hard water set ups with tannins. in general there arent many cold water fish. and theres very few small cold water fish. and most don't have much colour. whereas I could go on...

its definitely heavily planted. this is the most recent photo I have but the plants have been trimmed and replanted a fair bit since as well as I've added more caves. And I'll probably order some new plants when I order the new bettas. My phone is broken so I can't take a current photo. this is...

how many female bettas should I put in a 55gallon/210litre tank? heavily planted and 4x the necessary filtration. with 6 corys and I'm going to get a group of 15 espei rasboras. i am pretty experienced with bettas and have 7 girls in a 20 gallon tank and a few single girls and a few single...

yeah, I have a few friends who are scared of spiders and a couple scared of snakes. the spiders are a more rational fear as you run into them way more often than snakes but they still arent very likely to bite you. i'm always messing around with them and have since I was very little and I've...

well a lot of the snakes won't hurt you. and 99% of the time if a snake does bite you its because you were the one harassing and practically begging to get attacked. same with spiders. they want nothing to do with people and try to avoid us as much as possible. the snakes that come into peoples...

we have very strict gun laws here. you won't be able to just walk around with one. if the spiders wanted to kill you they could very easily do so in the time it would take you to get a gun licence. just be nice to them (they'd love it if you completely ignored them and stayed out of their way)...
